Sam Kerr helped Sky Blue FC snap a two-game losing streak but the news wasn’t as good for some of her Westfield Matildas teammates in the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) over the weekend.

The red-hot attacker continued her free-scoring form with a well-taken strike with just over six minutes left as Sky Blue FC upset league-leaders North Carolina 1-0.

Kerr’s goal was her sixth of the season and followed on from her stunning bicycle kick strike against Orlando last week.

The win keeps Sky Blue FC in fourth spot, one point clear of Portland Thorns.

The 23-year-old’s recent run of form earned her WNSL’s player of the month award for both May and June, only the second time in the competition’s history a player has claimed the accolade in successive months.

STEPH CATLEY AND ALANNA KENNEDY

It was a day to forget for the Orlando Pride duo after they were beaten 1-0 at home to second-placed Chicago Red Stars.

USA international Christen Press scored the decisive goal from the penalty spot with just over 20 minutes remaining.

Catley and Kennedy both played full matches for Orlando, with the Pride now sitting in sixth spot, four points behind the finals spots.

HAYLEY RASO AND ASH SYKES

Raso played a full match and Sykes 30 minutes off the bench as their Portland Thorns outfit fell to a 2-0 loss to third-placed Seattle Reign.
